Design, planning and build for Egloshayle full build package
Once drawings are approved, the build is the bit that decides whether you get the home you imagined or a frustrating compromise. We deliver projects on a single contract — design, drawings, approvals and construction — so the team that drew it is the team that builds it. A PL27 site visit comes before a Egloshayle sketch, every time — Egloshayle is a creekside settlement in the PL27 area, with waterside homes, wooded valleys and narrow-lane access shaping the brief, with a building stock that leans toward creekside cottages and waterside homes.
Egloshayle sits in North Cornwall — just off the A39; covering PL27 from Wadebridge, St Issey, Chapel Amble outward.

Who this is for
In Egloshayle the full build package brief is almost always a private homeowner improving a forever home — so we lead with feasibility and long-term value, not show-home rhetoric.

Egloshayle Full Build — local questions answered.
- We live in the house. Can a full build package in Egloshayle be done while we stay put?
- Usually yes for single-storey and rear work, with a temporary kitchen or bathroom arrangement agreed before the start. Whole-house remodels and roof work in Egloshayle are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- What guarantees and aftercare do you offer?
- Standard twelve-month defects period, plus product and workmanship warranties on relevant elements. We're a Cornish business — you'll still find us in the same studio in five years' time. In Egloshayle specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- Fixed price or open book?
- Both. Fixed price suits well-defined projects with clear specs; open book suits renovations and listed work where the unknowns only reveal themselves once you start opening things up. We'll recommend the right route.
- Do you handle the whole project from drawing to finish?
- Yes — that's the model. One contract from feasibility to handover, with design, regs and build all under our roof. No coordination gap between designer and contractor.
- Are you insured?
- Public liability, employer's liability and contractor's all-risks cover are in place for every project, with certificates available before contract signing.
- Can you build from someone else's drawings?
- Yes, with a review. We'll happily build from approved drawings produced elsewhere, after a technical review to confirm the design holds up at construction stage.

Page purpose
How a Egloshayle build actually runs
This is delivery, not paperwork. The value here is programme, sequencing and a single point of responsibility for a PL27 site. In Egloshayle that usually means access, storage and neighbour management get planned before the first delivery arrives.
- Site set-up planned around Egloshayle access, parking and delivery constraints
- One programme covering trades, inspections and building control sign-off
- Materials specified for local exposure, not a generic national spec
- Weekly progress contact so decisions never hold up the programme
Scope
Where our work starts and stops on a PL27 project
These stages can be bought separately. Most PL27 projects use three of them.
Heritage and design statements
Written justification where designation makes the design case as important as the drawing.
Full design and build
One contract from first sketch to handover, with the same team on paper and on site.
Structural coordination
Calculations coordinated with the drawings so building control sees one consistent story.
Who this is for
Our footing in North Cornwall
- Designated-area work is routine here, so heritage and landscape statements are produced alongside the drawings rather than outsourced.
- Drawings, planning and building regulations are all produced in-house, so a full build package enquiry does not get passed between firms.
- Design and build are offered from the same studio, which means the person answering your Egloshayle questions has seen the detail built.
Planning rules change and every site is different. For the final position on your address, check with Cornwall Council as the local planning authority or the Planning Portal.

Egloshayle is covered from our Wadebridge run. Being a smaller place, the local detail matters more than the headline policy: lane access, neighbour proximity and what the immediate street already looks like.
Local context
Why Egloshayle is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Egloshayle is consistent: creekside ecology, flood risk, trees and views across the water often matter as much as the building form itself. For full build package specifically, parts of Egloshayle sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape. That's why we treat every Egloshayle project as a PL27-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The creekside cottages that dominate Egloshayle (and continue out toward Chapel Amble) set the tone for any full build package scheme here.
Planning note
Build delivery doesn't need planning, but planning conditions often dictate site setup, materials and working hours — we read every condition and build the programme around them.
What we focus on
Full Build considerations specific to Egloshayle.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
02
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
03
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
04
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.

Step 4

Full builds run from twelve weeks for small extensions to eighteen months for new build family homes.
